A really pleasing crianza. Red with a light purple tint. I’m told that it is 60% French oak and 40% American. I’m glad for the split because there is a heavy amount of oak on here, and just the right amount. Strong vanilla scents, along with new leather, rose petal, and tobacco. A little fruit, but definitely leans on the oaky tannins. Light to medium in body, and pretty tight. Could definitely use a few more years to age. Some red fruit, a little tomato paste, some pepper and ending with some herbaceous notes underneath. — 14 days ago

Excellent but too young for much additional complexity to be showing. Oak is well integrated and less than I remembered in this bottling. — 10 days ago

Soft cherry and gentle orange rind notes. Hints of dried herbs. Faded but pretty. Very good. — a month ago

Sweet and spicy full-bodied Rioja with strawberry notes and a dry finish. Nice choice at Mara, Mpls. — 4 days ago

45% Mazuelo, 40% Garnacha, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is outstanding! Mature, harmonious, rich, deep and complex. I wish I have more of this! — 16 hours ago

Just a flagship Rioja for me, after several failed Riojas, finally hit the spot with this. Just on point with the fruit, oak and tannins. Balanced, robust, imposing and elegant to top it of. Cheers. — 19 days ago

This is an moment to remember, because we don’t often drink two bottles during dinner 🤣 but this high altitude Rioja is a very fine and elegant example of the true purity from the Tempranillo grape. Love it! — 2 days ago
